How BrandName works
Paracetamol acts as a pain reliver (analgesic) and fever reducer (antipyretic) by inhibiting the cyclooxygenase (COX) enzyme mainly in the central nervous system. This reduces the production of prostaglandins, which are chemicals responsible for pain and fever, thereby relieving pain and lowering body temperature.
